Those are some nice looking drag setups. Iam wanting to do a drag set up also.

 

Took a few new pics of mine today before I put it away.

CCW 17x4.5 16x10 185/55R17s 315/45R16

 

dang i miss seeing Dlove's car around kcmo nice car you got there

 

My latest 4th gen project, a budget build, has a set of Billet Specialties 15x4/15x10's on it:

 

Did you grind your calipers? any modifications?

 

You have to grind your rears if they are not the f-body specific BS wheels. And by grind i mean extremely, not just a little. If you by drag brakes you don't have to do it. They fronts just a little or use a spacer.

 

Nice thread - looking good guys!!! Gives me ideas.

 

This is my daily driver on Billet Specialties Street Lites:

Front: 17x7 with 215/50ZR17
Back: 17x11 with 315/35R17 Toyo DRs

 

OMG!! the mother of my car...
Damn shes looking good, really good.
Im leaning now over to these rims. It looks soo good and mean.
Got a pic of rear to see how wide the tires stick out?

 

Sure, here are some more pics. I am using a UMI adjustable PHB to center the rear, and the fender lips have been rolled:







And here are some pics from before I cut the springs 1 coil and did the rear hose mod. The height and gap almost makes it look like they stick out from the wheel wells, but they don't. With it lowered, it looks flush. I love the way these wheels sit. Also, the Toyo DRs are wide like the M/T's are and it should look more tucked with a narrower tire like the Nitto DR.

 

Damn can u send me a link to those???

Where did you get the Toyo DR and how much if you dont mind me asking? How do you like them? Cant decide if I want to go back to the Nitto DR or try out the Toyo...

 

ls1 sounds, can you post up pics from the side view? the angle shots at great. btw, have you considered the inserts for those? theres pics of a trans am with them on and i spoke with the guy and he can get them from a shop that he got them made from.

 

I got the tires from tiredeals4less, but it looks like they are currently out of stock on the 315s. They are stickier than the 315 Nitto's I ran on my old car, but not as sticky as the Mickey Thompson drag radials I had before. They fall nicely in between, they were cheap, and they were nice and wide. I had burst knock issues the one time I've had them to the track which hurt my 60 ft times, but they had no problem holding a low 1.7. I will probably replace them with M/T DRs when the time comes.
Thanks! I haven't seen the inserts you're talking about. Are they black inserts for the center of the spokes? I've thought about having some vinyl decals cut to insert in there to see what it looks like but haven't done it yet. Something temporary so I can remove it if I don't like them. I really like the machined surface of that part though.

Here are some more pics, sorry if I repost any of them:









































I painted my brake calipers black with silver CAMARO decals since taking those pictures too:

 

Jesus man...those rims are ******* gorgeous on there.

 

Thanks! I've been really happy with them and they aren't heavy either:

Size ..... Weight - lbs.
17x7 ......... 17
17x9.5 ...... 19.5
17x11 ....... 20.5

 

Ill add with ya on the 17 in steet lites!!
17x9.5s and 17X11s with Nitto 555s, Soon Will have the 555 DRs..275s,315s

Some older ones when I first got them.








BTY LS1sounds..ur the reason I got a set..ur car looked sick they got here just a day after u posted pics of them up..

 

Awesome and thank you! A local guy also has a set on his black Formula now. For me, these are the perfect wheels. The only other ones I even considered were polished TTII for the retro look, but I am way more happy with these all around.
